As the entrepreneurs step into the tank to present their ventures, viewers are left wondering which pitcher will emerge victorious and secure the Sharks’ coveted investment.
Pitch 1 :- Nemo Care
The first startup enters the Tank with a healthcare device designed for newborns requiring additional care post-birth. The entrepreneurs highlight the challenges faced by NICU babies in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities due to delays in receiving timely intervention and care. They discuss how their product can provide essential care promptly and even predict diseases in advance. Seeking Rs 1 Crore for a 2.5% equity stake, they pitch their innovative solution.
Following the pitch, Vineeta and Radhika share their personal experiences of the distressing NICU journey and the challenges faced by parents. The founders then proceed with a product demo, emphasizing its ability to facilitate the transition of babies from NICU care. They delve into their customer segments, CSR models, revenue generation through hospitals, and manufacturing process. The Sharks are impressed by the grants received but express concerns about revenue growth and valuation alignment.
Despite the offers from Vineeta & Peyush and Aman, the founders ultimately accept Aman’s offer of Rs 20 Lakhs for 0.67% equity and 80 Lakhs debt at 10% interest for 2 years.
Pitch 2 :- WhySoBlue
In the following pitch, a mother-daughter duo introduces their vibrant and eclectic clothing line to the Tank, aiming to captivate the Sharks’ attention. After sharing insights into their backgrounds, they delve into the concept of slow fashion, emphasizing its positive environmental impact and advocating for conscious consumerism. The discussion shifts to their clothing line, prompting the Sharks to inquire about the practicality of wearing coordinated outfits outside of the home.
The entrepreneurs address the queries, highlighting the rising popularity of coordinated fashion in India and the suitability of cotton co-ords for tropical climates. They elaborate on their unique prints, techniques, and designs, emphasizing their distinctiveness in the market. However, the Sharks express concerns about the pricing strategy and delve into the unit economics and the potential for design replication.
Despite reservations from most Sharks, Ritesh extends an offer of Rs 40 Lakhs for a 3% equity stake plus Rs 35 Lakhs debt at 10% interest for 3 years, which the founders accept.
Pitch 3 :- Coratia Technologies

The founders showcase their two innovative products tailored for inspecting structures such as bridges and dams, aiming to prevent potential disasters and safeguard lives. They emphasize that deploying these robots not only protects critical infrastructure but also mitigates the risk to countless lives.
Seeking Rs 80 Lakhs for a 1% equity stake, the founders begin by sharing their personal connection to the problem at hand, offering an inspiring narrative. They then delve into the intricacies of their products, detailing their utility and the challenges of employing divers for such hazardous tasks. A demonstration video showcasing the robots in action earns the admiration of the Sharks, who are impressed by the technological advancements made by the founders.
Following a live demonstration, the discussion shifts to revenue projections and pricing strategies. The Sharks are taken aback by the ambitious revenue forecast, projecting a 50-fold increase in the coming year. While only Vineeta and Ritesh extend offers, the founders ultimately accept Ritesh’s proposal, which aligns with their initial terms.
